Poveglia, Italy


Poveglia

Ever since Leonardo told me about Poveglia and its history makes me want to visit the island.
So that's what I did. 
Alright I know what your thinking, its off limits how did you get in? Well I have been searching for someone experts that know about the island and was hoping one could give me more information.
It turns out I found an expert, Mona!

We talking about the island and its history and I decided to throw in that I wanted to visit the island.
Since she is an expert and and investigator she has access to island. Perfect. I have my way in. :)  
She agreed but she warned me its very scary and she is only allowed in daylight. Mona was telling me that its typical to hear screams and moans. I was getting scared but I still was going to go because I want to learn about what these people were put through. Remember it used to be a psychological  hospital. 


I'm going in...


                                                                                                  
I'm back from Poveglia. And let me tell you. When they say not to go in, they really mean it.
I saw shadows and the table the mad doctor used to work on. Mona told me a lot about this island and its torturers. Mona and I both went to the boiler room.


Mona also brung along a friend of hers, who also had visited the island, Aroldo.
He mentioned from his last visit, he heard screams. Also, he showed us a picture he took and look what he found in the picture.


  
Can you spot the ghost?


I learned a lot about Italy and I love it! Sadly I reached the end of my adventure.
I am so coming back to Italy though! Maybe not Poveglia. ;)
I finally visited the place I've always wanted to come to.
I met some awesome people to like Mona, Leonardo and Aroldo!
I friended them on Facebook.
